The -S option introduced by the patch is essentially the same thing as
the -y option. The following two commands should be equivilent:

slappasswd -S < /foo/bar
slappasswd -y /foo/bar

and

slappasswd -S
slappasswd -y /dev/stdin

So, if the -y option is implemented, that's sufficient for me. Thanks!
